Remember The Alamo
Tuning: E A D G B E
{Intro}
C Dm Em F Em G
{Verse 1}
C Dm Em F Gmaj7 G7
A hundred and eighty are challenged by Travis to die
C Dm Em Dm Gmaj7 G7
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle drew nigh
F Em
The man who would fight to the death cross over
Dm C
But them that was left better fly
C Dm Em Dm Gmaj7 G7
And over the line crossed a hundred and seventy nine
{Chorus}
F Em
High up Santa Anna - they're killing your soldiers below
Dm C Dm G7 C Dm Em Dm C
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo
{Verse 2}
C Dm Em Dm Gmaj7 G7
Though Bowie lay dying his his powder was ready and dry
C Dm Em Dm Gmaj7 G7
From flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply,
F Em
And Young Davy Crockett was smiling and laughing
Dm C
The challenge was fierce in his eyes
C Dm Em F Gmaj7 G7
For Texas and freedom a man more than willing to die
{Chorus}
F Em
High up Santa Anna - they're killing your soldiers below
Dm C Dm G7 C Dm Em Dm C
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo
{Verse 3}
C Dm C Dm Gmaj7 G7
A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud,
C Dm C Dm Gmaj7 G7
With words of farewell in the letters he carried were proud:
F Em
"Grieve not, little darlin', my dyin'
Dm C
if Texas is sovereign and free,
C Dm C Dm Gmaj7 G7
We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be!"
{Chorus}
F Em
High up Santa Anna - they're killing your soldiers below
Dm C Dm G7 C Dm Em Dm C
So the rest of Texas will know ...... and remember The Alamo
Dm G7 C Dm Em Dm C
And remember The Alamo
